The Cloud Awaits: Storage For The Growing Virtualized Infrastructure Growth is a good situation for organizations to experience, but growth is not easy and presents challenges. Today, virtual environments in many industries are growing, and organizations are increasingly deploying VMware virtualization to help consolidate IT, improve business flexibility, increase application availability, and reduce costs. After virtualizing test and development environments, and other applications, many organizations are now eager to extend the benefits of virtualization throughout the data center, creating an end-to-end virtualized IT environment and setting the stage for cloud computing. To succeed, organizations must adopt a storage platform that can be tightly integrated with virtualized servers. That storage platform must be designed to deliver the
Cloud and Decoupling the Business Benefit I think we’ve talked before about what it means to be a cloud technology, or, more precisely, what people mean when they call things cloud technologies, cloud-like, or even just grossly label some form of computing “the cloud.” In this post, I want to take a few minutes discuss the way we at GreenPages look at this space and how we define and describe cloud technologies and the rising ecosystems that surround them. This conversation is going to have 2 distinct but well integrated sections: Why cloud? Why now? Decoupling the business benefits from the operation of

Hybrid Cloud a Viable IT Service Delivery Platform Hybrid cloud is a viable IT service delivery platform, according to Loughborough University. The University collaborated with Logicalis UK to move a complete enterprise application stack back and forth between an on-campus private cloud and Logicalis’ hosted cloud, via JANET (Joint Academic Network). The cloud solutions are based on Cisco’s unique Unified Computing System (UCS), NetApp Storage platforms, and CA Technologies’ automation and orchestration tools. Loughborough notes that this alliance has also demonstrated the true capabilities of cloud as far more than just a hypervisor workload enabler. For this project, Loughborough leveraged
Virtensys Specializes in Virtualization Technologies for Cloud Computing Manchester-based Virtensys started developing I/O Virtualization technologies for servers and storage platforms and needed less than a year to secure its first round of venture capital funding in October 2006, after venture capital investors Scottish Equity Partners provided Series A funding worth GBP 6.41 million to the start-up founded by entrepreneurs who left market leaders such as Adaptec, Brocade, Fujitsu, HP, ICL and Intel to establish a new enterprise. The company has bet on an innovative vision that data center servers and storage systems will no longer physically contain complex high-speed I/O
